Looking at screen printing, focusing on the colours and shapes associated with it. We experimented with the screen printing process and combined this with the college logos, we took the shape of the mosaic tile as it relates to both the college and the mosaics in the library. From this we folded a piece of paper into a mosaic shape and printed bright colours onto it. When the piece of paper is unfolded, snippets of colour will be seen in different areas of the paper which would work well for a fold out poster, flyer or catalogue. 
We also focused on the process of screen printing in terms of what equipment is used. We looked at the actual screen and what it is made of, it is a thin mesh attached to a frame. We decided to focus on the mesh as it goes well with our name 'emulsion over mesh'. From this we went onto experiment with mesh and making things three dimensional.
We took photos of the mesh to get an idea of how it could be formed and bent and also how shadows could be made.
From this we decided to cut out numbers from it which could be used as a way finding method, for room numbers or area numbers in the exhibition.
These numbers would be suspended in front of a light source and projected onto the walls or floors in the exhibition room.
We then used a photo of the mesh to create a GIF featuring the exhibition name, something like this could be used for social media and altered to have a count down to the exhibition.
